6.5 cu. ft. Electric Dryer in White

A stylish Amana dryer is the perfect tonic for a tired laundry room. Not only can you dry more at a time in this 6.5 cu. ft. Super Capacity dryer, but loading and unloading is quick and easy with a wide-opening, side-swing door. Automatic Dryness Control means you don't have to worry about overdrying. Plus, the Wrinkle Prevent option puts a stop to wrinkles for those times you can't get there just as the end-of-cycle signal sounds.

This dryer is adequate. Dries well, but clothes are static-y. I scraped off some of the shipping tape on the front blue panel after it was delivered, and some of the blue paint came off with my fingernail. I'm not overly impressed with this dryer, but its a good price and its doing the job.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I do two large loads of laundry a day and this machine helps me keep me up with it. It has a large capacity and it dries quickly.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I ordered this dryer online so didn't know exactly what to expect. I like the styling and blue accents on the dials. I love how quickly it dries my clothes - especially towels. I was sorry to have to replace my 15 yr. old Kenmore, but now realize the performance I was missing with it and/or how much better driers are now. It also operates very quietly!

We have only had a week but my wife loves the large capacity and she likes the fact when the load is done it signals that it is done. So many dryers don't do this simple feature but my wife finds it important to have. The dryer is easy to use, does a good job and can handle heavy loads which is a time saver. We are very happt with this dryer so far.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Our new Maytag is just right for us. We have a large family so we needed a large dryer capacity. This fits the bill. It doesn't have a lot of features on it but I have found that I really didn't use them all when I did have them. I also like the light inside because it makes it harder to lose those stray socks or undies that are usually forgotten in the dark recesses. I have had it for a few weeks and no problems yet.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I like it, once I got used to the modern-day operating style.

I just got this washer-dryer set last week and have only done three loads so these are just initial impressions. They replaced a 35-year-old pair of Maytags that were still running strong but were short on features. On first operation the main thing that concerned me was the low water level for the rinse cycle - it barely fills the tub halfway up the load. It then agitates the load downwards and outwards to flush the clothes through the water (or at least, that's how I think it works. You can't see the agitators in action because the lid safety switch is internally operated by the hinge and can't be defeated by a screwdriver or a skinny finger with the lid open. Since I like to know how things operate this is frustrating. But I'll figure out something, count on it). I'm sensitive to detergent so a good rinse is imperative. Fortunately the Extra Rinse cycle fills the tub full enough to cover the load so I just leave the knob there all the time and get a good complete rinse. Without the Extra Rinse the clothes still have patches of visible suds after the spin....no good. I understand most modern washers are like this.
Outside of that, it works fine. Same noise level as my old Maytag, but a different kind of sound. The new washers are also much lighter than the old ones (less heavy steel, more plastic/air so the days of appliances still going strong after 35 years are long past, I'm sure). This lightness means a lot more shaking during the spin but also less vibration carried through the house (I live in a doublewide). Most importantly, my clothes came out noticeably cleaner than with the old washer, using less detergent, and the wash & wear shirts were less flattened. Overall I'm happy with it and I like the features that give more control over the wash than any washer I've had before.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I was really disappointed in this dryer. It has some good qualities, the lite inside, the varieties of heating and settings,the buzzer when clothes are done, but when I used the dryer, it doesn't dry the clothes on the first setting. I have only used the heavy dry, and very dry,as well as high heat on everything cause nothing dries on the first try. The heavy dry runs for over an hr and towels don't dry, neither do pants, sweatshirts, it says super capacity which it is large, but it does not dry in a reasonable amount of time. I have tried putting less clothes and they still don't dry.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I purchased this dryer when my 20 year old electric clothes dryer died. The capacity is wonderful ,and the operation is much quieter than my old dryer. I can dry more items faster, even a huge load of towels in half the time of my old dryer. The lint screen is on top, so its easy to get to in my cramped laundry closet. This dryer is a great value for the money. I love the numerous settings that I can choose from based upon the type of fabrics to be dried.
Yes, I recommend this product.
